The Anomaly occurrence is located on Long Creek, approximately 2.2 kilometres north east of its junction with the Robertson River.
The area is underlain by Lower Jurassic Bonanza Group volcanics consisting of lava, tuff and breccia of mainly basaltic to rhyolitic composition. It contains occasional interbeds and sequences of marine argillite and greywacke. A stock of the Early to Middle Jurassic Island Plutonic Suite lies to the southwest of the showings. The volcanics have been intruded by dykes and irregularly shaped bodies of granodiorite, granite porphyry and diorite porphyry. Limestone, reported to occur as lenses and roof pendants in both the volcanics and the intrusive, is probably related to the Quatsino Formation, Vancouver Group.
Two parallel east striking shear zones in andesite tuffs contain pyrrhotite, pyrite and chalcopyrite in a skarn of actinolite and minor garnet. The western most zone has been exposed by bulldozing for about 46 metres along a 100 to 115 degree strike; and the eastern zone has been exposed roughly parallel to the first zone.
In the 1950’s, programs of trenching and ten X-ray diamond drill holes, totalling 150 metres, were completed. These yielded values between 0.6 and 3.0 per cent copper with one hole assaying 4.46 per cent zinc over 0.90 metres (Assessment Report 8209)
In 1980, Sonar Energy completed a program of rock and soil geochemical sampling and geological mapping on the Maxi claim. A 1.3 metre sample assayed 2.46 per cent copper, 0.08 per cent zinc and 19.89 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 8209).
In 1981, Strata Energy completed a program of soil geochemical sampling and geological mapping. In 1986 and 1989, programs of ground geophysical surveys were completed. In 2006, the area was staked as the Stag claim and a program of geochemical sampling and prospecting was completed. A sample, ST-2006-027, assayed 5.3 grams per tonne silver and greater than 1.0 per cent copper (Assessment Report 28583).
In 2011, a program of geochemical sampling was completed on the area as the Juniper claim. A sample, from an exposed trench, assayed 0.2423 per cent zinc, 64 grams per tonne silver and greater than 1 per cent copper (Assessment Report 32286).
